Chewing gum is famously banned in Singapore. To mark the nation's 60th birthday, BBH Singapore has introduced what could be the country's first legal chewing gum: a product called Unthinkables!. It looks, tastes, and chews like gum, but is made without a gum base - a deviously lateral solution that makes it technically legal.
